The stingiest man In the United States,
until recently, was supposed to be located
In Missouri and he was so penurious that
he would stop the clock at night to keep Il
from wearing out. He was the second
cousin to the man at Oshkosh, Michigan,
/ who was church member. He would
hold on to his pennies until the last possible
moment when the contribution box came
around, for the interest to accrue on them.
| But the stingiest man in the werld, SO far
discovered up to the time of going to press,
| Is the man In Albany, Or, who uses a wart
on the back of his neck for a collar button.
